I'm no fan of the Sovie--, er, I mean Russians , but those Paras have worked pretty hard for the right to wear one of those shirts. So just curious, what have you done to rate wearing one?

Come, tell us did you have the top bed in the army, thats pretty high.

I always preferred the bottom bunk. It allowed me to do a couple dozen pull ups before nodding off at Lights Out. :p

I have suspicion that OneToughHerring might felt the FDF to be too militaristic and opressive and chosen to go to civic service, they can sleep at home.

I had a normal bed in military, once or twice I think I slept in a top bunk. Finnish military and especially the conscription part of it is IMO a little outdated and a remnant of past times. Happy Times, but past times anyway.

And telnyashka, well I haven't been in the Russian army to 'earn' one but I think military clothing is in fashion so no 'earning' needed. Or maybe I should go skydiving one of these days, I hear it's great fun.

This just in! Russian Paratrooper General Borisov was recently spotted at the " Southeren cookin" breakfast buffet, our sources tell us that he was forced to leave by the chef, and that he DID NOT leave a tip at the table, causing the kitchen staff to piss in his lemonade, which he drank anyways noting the tangyness of it and passing his compliments on to the chef....

Well hey if we are going to make generalisations he looks just as much a pudgy paper pushing thief as HT accuses General Borisov and the Cossacks...

Storming Norman looks like he stormed the dessert line a few too many times.

Perhaps he is a veteran of that great battle Dessert Storm?
